(3) Air Nigeria
(4) Associated
(5) Overland

which one again... plz tell me fast.

i jst booked aero to PH & Arik back to Lagos.

are they among? so that i can cancel them right now; its better to follow Chisco small buses and spend 8-12 hrs on d road plus paracetamol
than to fly with these local airlines that have little or no regard 4 human lives..

LeoMax: I wish the choppers are cheap. Man pikin for begin to save to buy one. What was a 22 yrs old plane doing in the skies. I hardly drive one car for 1yr without feeling ashamed, bunch of shameless maggot indies

temmy6996: A 22yr old plane does nt matter,wat matters most is d maintainance.d presidential jet of the US (airforce 1) was build in 1958 & its still in use.

eliment: i think am comfortable with my foot wagon cos my life is much more secure

niddamugu:

It is God that grants journey mercies. Even a plane on first test drive from factory could crash....

ismhab: DANA OR DANO OR WHAT EVER IT NAME IS CALLED IS THE WORST AIRPLANE SO FAR IN NIGERIA, SOME TIMES THEY USE TO FLY WITH THEIR DOOR OPEN DUE TO LACK OF AC OR EVEN FLY WITH ONLY ONE FUNCTIONAL ENGINE.

gator_666: A 40 years old airplane, but well and properly maintained, is safer than brand new but not maintained at all one.

aginamuk: In the current United States presidential fleet, there are two Boeing VC-25As – specifically configured, highly customized Boeing 747-200B series airplanes - built in 1990. They are 22 years old and are scheduled to be replaced beginning 2017.

Prof JYK: @Jadedola, Overland is quieter cos the use Prop engines. To b honest, going to Paris weekly (esp. with turbo/props) is not feasible as it would drain the resources of the airlines. the frequent checks A&B can b done in Naija or in d ECOWAS sub region. the six planes in the Overland fleet r all regional have ranges to b in excess of 600 miles(1000km). do you know how many layovers lie between lagos and paris at every 600mile interval? where is d profit? also turboprops don't need as much maintainance as jet engines.

well I stand to b corrects as you know Captain Boyo, I Don't and who knows, Captain Boyo might not b fully profit driven.

aladesanmi: These stupid indians have turned Nigeria to a place where they can do whatever they like even in the manufacturing sector, God will punish them and they will all die like fowl.

pufectskin: They don't go to paris weekly; I believe its every 2 weeks or 2 months for service. But I am not entirely sure (but there is d number 2). Of course goin weekly wouldn't be competitive.
